Just got my Mobile Studio Pro 13" last week. Within a week, it's been twice already that "Wacom Desktop Centre" showed "No Device Connected" after a reboot. When trying to open "Wacom Tablet Properties" I also get "Tablet Driver was not Found".

Simply installing the tablet driver again doesn't help. I would HAVE to uninstall the Tablet Driver, reboot AND THEN reinstall the Tablet Driver again in order for MSP to be recognized.

Why is this happening? I don't want to waste time having to uninstall, reinstall etc.

This is with the MSP connected to another computer, or standalone ? First case could be a connection problem. In second case I would try to go to Start Menu -> Wacom Tablet -> Wacom Tablet prefs utility and 'remove' the settings. That restarts the driver. If you have a backup of the settings, you can also use 'restore' or doubleclick on the settings backup file.

I didn't know that MSP can be connected to another computer without the (yet-to-be-released) Wacom link, can it?

I will try to "remove settings" method next time first before removing the driver completley and reinstalling it, which was a pain. But why is this happening to begin with? I don't know if this is related to the BSOD that I've experienced with Windows too. Maybe the BSOD in some ways screwed up the Wacom driver?

You can connect the MSP with a desktop machine with a direct USB-C cable, if the desktop has USB-C - or you can also use Apple's USB-C to HDMI adapter, if you have that. (The Wacom Link adapter is included with the Cintiq Pro, but unfortunately not yet separately.)

Normally you should not need to re-install the driver, unless some file is corrupted or some files might be blocked by anti-virus software (or some faulty Windows update). But I would always try to restore settings first.

I just installed a Blackbird MX-1 USB-C PCIE card in my Windows 10 PC and installed the latest MSP drivers 6.3.19.3. When I connected the MSP 13" I7 16GB 512GB to the PC, there was no connection at all. The MSP was not recognised

"A supported tablet was not found on the system" was the error message from the Wacom Tablet Properties on the PC (also running Win10) The PC Motherboard is an ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 with 16GB Ram. .

When I called Wacom tech support, I was told that the PC-MSP connection via a USB-C cable had not been tested at Wacom with a PCIE USB Card

Disappointing, but that comes with the the bleeding edge territory. I expect it will be fixed in a new driver

After finding out that the USB-C cable connection from the MSP to the USB-C PICI card in by PC does not work at all, I since learned that not all USB-C ports are the same. The USB-C port in the Blackbird MX-1 card IS a USB 3.1 port, but it does not support the DP Alt Mode for the link to the MSP to work.

At this point I cannot see any way to use a USB-C connection from my MSP to my PC.

Please could you give more detail about the requirements of the desktop computer to work with (a) the Apple USB-C to HDMI dapter (b) the wacom link for the Mobile Surface Pro.

Details of the connection are very sparse in the help file for the MSP and led me to a mistake in buying a PCIE USB-C board which does not work (no graphics support on the Blackbird MX-1 card)

I currently do not have a graphics card that supports HDMI or DisplayPort on my desktop PC, just a dual DVI card. So I need to buy an additional graphics card for either of (a) or (b) to work. I need to know the requirements of such a graphics board so that I do not make a second mistake and buy the wrong card.

The adapter from Apple is for USB-C to HDMI and allows to attach HDMI monitors to the MSP, but so far there is no adapter for the other way. For using the MSP with a desktop machine, you should use the Wacom Link adapter or a USB-C port that supports displayport. Make sure to use the center USB-C port on the MobileStudio Pro to get the signal to the MSP.

Many thanks for the clarification. I had read your earlier comment: " if the desktop has USB-C - or you can also use Apple's USB-C to HDMI adapter, if you have that."to mean that I could use the Apple adapter to connect to an HDMI port on a graphics card. :-(

But I see now that there is no communication that way from the Graphics card TO the MSP.

However it seems that I will need a new graphics card with a Displayport and just wait until the Wacom Link adapter is available.

Please could you give a little more info about the Wacom Link adapter? Does it connect to a Mini? Displayport on the deksktop graphics card and via a different cable to a USB port - 2 or 3? - on the desktop PC
